Pet care with love 🐾

Pet care experience

I am passionate about animals, and I’ve had dogs, cats, bunnies, Guinea pigs, birds and hamsters throughout my life. I’ve worked with rescues since 16yo, what gave me a lot of experience with cats and dogs harmed and in distress c teaching me how to be patient and approach them the best way possible in their own time. What boarding with me looks like: I will love your fur friend as if it was mine. We will have lots of quality time together, full of playtime and cuddles. We will go out for walks or runs and to explore outdoors. I am home most of the day and your fur baby will have one-on-one time, lots of attention and love. Drop in visits: You can tell me everything your fur baby likes to do, even if it might sound silly, and I will try my best to give the same attention as you and to mimic the playtime, to keep they fell more comfortable and happy while you are away.

Kelly was so sweet and loving with my senior dog with medical needs. She regularly sent me updates and my dog was well taken care of!

Kelly is great! I felt very comfortable leaving our rescue dog with her for the day. She is kind, patient, and communicative. Our little guy came home happy so I would book with her again.

This is our second time using Kelly for our very spoiled golden retriever. She is amazing, always gives daily photos, and it’s been the best environment for our dog who doesn’t do well with other dogs. I highly recommend Kelly!
